Hello,
I had gone to a hatchery to buy pekin ducklings, but instead came home with a mixture of the cutest little ducklings you ever did see. The owner of the hatchery assured me that one duckling in my box was a Call duck. I had never heard or raised a call duck so I was eager to try this breed out. However as my call duckling got older, I noticed it didn't look like the pictures I saw on the internet. I also noticed he had very bright blue eyes, which is something I've also never seen in any of my duck breeds (I raise mallards, pekins, and Indian runners).
I know he can't be a call duck as the hatchery claimed, so what breed do y'all think he may be?

The bill almost makes me think muscovy, but that's probably not it. Maybe a magpie? How big is it compared to the other ducks?
 
He is much bigger than my mallards in height and weight. My pekins and indian runners are taller, but he's almost as heavy as they are. I also noticed he doesnt make a raspy quack like my other male ducks. He has more of a musical chirp that sounds similar to a flute in my opinion. I dont know much about muscovys to know if he would be one or not.
